Go for it! Make it replicate what I've done, background and all - do not just do a glass ball thingie rendered in max. My illustration wasn't about making a photorealistic ball thingie. It is what it is and the way it looks was intentional. Reproduce it in less than ten and I'd be surprised.

I understand fully that if you did just want a glass ball it could be knocked out very quickly. The original 3d export I had brought into Xara had taken practically no time to create -- just a low poly ball thingie.
